Pope Francis Preparatory School

Pope Francis Preparatory School, located in Springfield, Massachusetts, is a Catholic co-educational college-preparatory high school that emerged from the historic Cathedral High School, founded in 1883. After a devastating tornado in 2011 destroyed its original building, the school underwent a significant transformation, merging with Holyoke Catholic High School and reopening in 2016. The campus, nestled in the East Forest Park neighborhood, features modern facilities on the site of the original school, which once served a diverse student body from Springfield and beyond. With a strong academic focus, the school offers a variety of college preparatory programs and has a rich history of fostering educational excellence among its students.
